Editor's Pros & Cons
PROS: The full-bodied 4-in-1 HP PhotoSmart Premium TouchSmart Web prints at speeds of 33 black & white pages per minute, and 32 color pages per minute in draft mode. For normal quality modes, the printer prints 12 black pages per minute and 9.5 color pages per minute. Black page print-resolution of 600 x 600 dots per inch and color print-resolution of 9600 x 2400 dots per inch goes unparalleled with standard printers. The standard input paper-tray holds up to 100 sheets or 20 sheets of photos. The output tray will hold up to 50 sheets of paper. The envelope feeder capacity reaches up to 15 envelopes. The standard memory of 256 Mega Bytes goes well above the memory needed for a small business office or home office. Various technologies for retouching photos such as photo brightening, image restoration, adaptive lighting, auto red-eye removal, and auto photo fix are just the icing on the cake. The connection capacity relies on the USB 2.0, Ethernet, PictBridge, Wi-Fi 802.11n, RJ-11 Fax, and Bluetooth. The printer only weighs 16.53 pounds and can be easily moved to any location. An additional wireless card will not needs be purchased because the wireless capability is embedded in the printer. The printer comes with "Peace of Mind" with a one-year warranty and phone support available 24/7. With the warranty contributing to the peace of mind, the energy star qualified printer will protect your bottom line by cutting the paper consumption in half with automatic duplexing features. The miraculous aspect of printing photos from Bluetooth enabled phones is intriguing. The printer can be used via Wi-Fi enabled devices, which makes an aspect of the set-up a breeze. The printer takes an overabundance of color cartridge types for optimal quality of prints. CONS: The Onscreen apps feel a little tricky and incomplete with slow response time. There are rumors of the apps freezing from time to time. The HP PhotoSmart Premium TouchSmart Web printer will cost around 300-500 dollars, and that is a bit steep for a printer with glitches in the apps management section. The touch-screen apps are known to glitch from time to time, there should be additional hard buttons included, to compliment the functionality in case the digital touch-screen malfunctions. The web apps intrigues many people, the initial execution of the unit exhibit the obvious refinements that need to be done. Unfortunately, the standard memory of 256 Megabytes of memory is also the maximum capacity. Customer Reviews For HP PhotoSmart Premium TouchSmart Web

Customer commentsMy bro owns this printer and it is SICK. We're talking printing, we're talking scanning, we're talking a touch screen display ON THE SIDE OF THE PRINTER. It's basically like having an ipod touch for your printer with downloadable apps like coloring books and recipes. Bottom line: this printer is good.Thank you for your input!

This printer is amazing! First and foremost, as a printer, this thing kills. For everyday printing in B/W, there is a super fast mode that prints a page in 2 seconds. It also connects to many devices through windows 7 printer sharing or iphone/ipod touch HP applications. On top of all that, the applications make it easy to scan/copy from the device or print out articles and coloring pages for kids. I would definitely recommend this printer to friends.
